I brought this up once before, it got a decent amount of support but not any attention.

I absolutely loved before how it used to show you, on your achievement page, the percentage of users who had each achievement, and then it was changed to hard numbers of people who had each achievement and it was even better. I would really love to see this back again. It's really interesting to see if you have any rare achievements or if there's achievements that everybody seems to have. Plus it's an easy way to see how many people participated in things like plots.

Percentages would be cool, hard numbers would be awesome :D

I'm soo supporting this!! it was so fun to see that I have some achievement that not many people have :P

Aw yis. Then I could finally see if anyone actually has the "ALL THE THINGS" achievement (probs not)

But yes. This. Please.

yes yes and more yes I'd love to see this implemented again. I'd love to see if some achievements are actually possible or if no one ever got them. I think hard numbers would be a lot better since there're lots of users who just create their account and never log in again, so percentages would always be really low.

:D glad to see its already getting some support.

I want to see how many people have the last leviathan harpooning achievement especially. it was like 0.001% back when the percentages where around, I wonder if anyone else kept trying or got lucky lol.

Percentages were helpful when inactive accounts used to be cleared... but now that they're left onsite, the percentages would make a lot less sense as time went on. I certainly wouldn't complain about having percentages, but hard numbers would be much more helpful and represent the site's activity better.

That being said, I definitely support this! There are plenty of achievements that I wonder how many users actually have, and it would be nice to know how "attainable" some of the chance-related achievements are.

oh I haven't even thought about accounts not being cleared anymore. That'd make percentages even less accurate then. If I remember correctly, achievements that were horribly easy to get (such as the one for restocking 5 items), where around 50%. And that's when accounts used to be cleared. I wouldn't be surprised if most achievements were around 5-10% now.

Yeah, at least 50% was big enough to compare it to other harder-to-get achievements which were usually around 1%. But if even the most popular ones would be at 10-15% it would be impossible to know what the 0.5-2% range meant.

I would much rather know that 200 people have x achievement and 2000 have y achievement. Because both of those numbers would be under 2% of total users, but one of them is clearly much easier to get than the other.

So unless there would be a way to (easily) discount inactive users from the total (and I doubt that there is), hard numbers would probably be best.

I'd love to see hard numbers! Percentages would only work as an opt-in system so that only people who were actually interested in achievements were included, and that would probably be tiresome to code.

Seeing hard numbers would probably make me even more excited about getting new achievements.

(Tbh I just want all the retired achievements to be marked as retired already. Can I battle all these old event challengers? Nope.)

Every time I look at the achievement page I want this to come back.

I would love this!

And for the problem of inactive accounts, I don't know how hard this would be to do but -- it could show the percentage of users who have the achievement that were active in the last 6 months, or some other time frame. Or it could maybe only include users with at least 100 achievements? I don't know.

omg yes please this is so damn annoying

I would think that the site would HAVE the hard numbers to calculate the percentages right? I dont see how you can have the % without the count, so i dont see why displaying both is an issue.

The question is now if tracking the numbers are straining. If its not, Im all in.

yes to the both numbers and also yes to the suggestion of marking the retired ones as retired :)

Maybe if this gets some staff notice I can bring back the suggestion of showing "overkill" on tiered achievements such as how many quests over 3k wizard quests you've done and whatnot, I think that would be better then just needlessly increasing tiers to astronomical numbers and rewarding us for things that were already rewarding to begin with.
